Is this OK as a starter set for home? My son plays with the full 120-piece set at school and wants one at home.

If he likes it at school, he'll like it at home... the question is whether you should acquire the large set or just a "starter" for now... that's up to you!

My grandson loves them and the more, the better. We are always creating skyscrapers, buildings, etc. Great buy.

Definitely! If you have more than one child it might not be, but for one it is perfect.

This is a great starter set! Once you've had it, you can get ideas about how many more pieces you'd like. They don't tire of them quickly! Get a nice Rubbermaid tote for storage.

I think it would be ok. I bought it for a 6yo boy. The quality is more than a toy but less than a real drum set. A little but of a pain to put togetherI hope this helps

I have to disagree with the other answer about the product being junk. The set worked very well for a precocious 6-year old. It is one of his more complicated sets though. It was a little frustrating until he realized the connectors slide together from the side and don't snap straight in. If you buy it, this comment will make sense.

I think it's a good size set. My son only has this set and has enough to keep entertained.

I would reccomend it , a lot of junk and toys out there, this is a good entry level and good quality for the price range, I think the pull distance is adjustable on this one that is why I bought this one , there are smaller ones out there but that 11 year old will start growing fast trust me, he should be lucky to get one, remember to lay down the saftey rules first, hugo's online had the best price last year, a straw hay bale wrapped in a plastic bag makes a good cheap target

I really do think so. The quality is much higher thn I expected for the price! It is a REAL drum set and the sounds are amazing. I - and my grandsons - are very happy with the drums. I think an 11-year-old would like them a lot.

It's probably more than you need with the kids. It's a beautiful solid well made set but you could get away with something more tpy like for little kids. I would stress if kids abused this beautiful set.

We got the adult set and my grandson was 10 1/2. He loves them. I would say since your son is 12, the adult set would be better so you don't have to turn around and get another set in a year or two.

I think so, my almost 11 year old has a few of these sets and has had them for several years and still loves them. They is so much they can do with even one set that he's sure to enjoy it.

Absolutely! You can do so much with the 32 piece set. The larger sets you can obviously build bigger and taller but the 32 pieces is definitely a good set if you aren't sure if you will like them as they are pricy (worth it IMO). Hope this helps!

yes! my son loves his set, he got it last year for Christmas, it is well made and perfect size for a 4yr old. Highly recommended.

Yes I would recommend this set. My son was 12 when we bought it and has truly enjoyed the set. It was relatively easy to assembly. We had a small amplifier we connected to the set or you can also use headphones.

Anywhere from 9 to 13 or 14. Even older kids could have fun with some of the sleight of hand tricks if they're into entertaining friends. It's a great set as a starter too, good value because you get a LOT of different stuff. It'd be a terrific Chrustmas/holiday gift. I got it for my 11 year old grandson who fell in love with magic after seeing Steve Carroll in The Amazing But Wonderstone. Enjoy!

I got this for my son when he was 4. He is almost 6 now. He plays these every day since day one and loves them. Its a perfect starter set. The quality is better then what I expected. You do have a lot to put together - I have never played drums and was able to do it no problem.

Yes it will work good for school and home and you can play movies on it ... My son also plays mindcraft on it and it works very well

I would say from 6 to 12 years, as a starter set. A child can definitely learn to play with this set, but if he/she starts to get good, or is already skilled, it probably doesn't sound professional.

ABSOLUTELY!! I bought it for my 2 1/2 year old grandson, and that's the first thing he goes for when he's at my house. Plus, he has them at his own house, and is constantly playing w/ them. They are sturdy--no worries about parts breaking off, either.
